Quotes for Inner Strength & Inspiration
“Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security. Unless you can live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively, unless you can choose a challenge instead of the competence.” #EleanorRoosevelt

“I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.” #LilyTomlin

“Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are – and aren’t – that you will truly succeed.”

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” #CarlBard

“People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing. That’s why we recommend it daily.” #ZigZiglar

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.”

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth.” #WilliamPurkey

“In order to be who you are, you must be willing to let go of who you think you are.” #MichaelSinger

“You get there by realizing you are already there.” #EckhartTolle

“My eccentricity became direction.” #JeanPaulGaultier

“Take a look at your role models – the people who live their lives in very special ways. They all have quirky things they do that make them both extraordinary and unusual. William Staffor, one of my favorite poets, got up at 4am so he could have time every day to write poetry without interruption. To live a life that is extraordinary in your own way, you must be ready to set the terms that feed your soul. Chances are that you will come up with some unique behavior. Good for you. Beethoven drank 50 cups of tea per day, every day. Ingmar Bergman, the Swedish move director, ate the same lunch every day, some kind of sour milk with jam. Tony Robbins, the ultra successful life coach, jumps into a cryochamber first thing every morning, a device powered by liquid nitrogen that creates air temperatures way below zero. Weird. Right? Well, it works for them. So, what do you like to do? Whatever it is, there’s no point in trying to be normal. Delight in your eccentricities. They make you you, and that is justification enough!”#SethKahan

“Our deepest fear is NOT that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that WE are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” #MarianneWilliamson

“A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.” #SenecatheYounger
“Life is not about how fast you run or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.” #VivianKomori
“There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” #AlbertEinstein
“Do what you do so well that they’ll want to see it again and bring their friends.” #WaltDisney
“A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.” #JamesEFaust

“The most beautiful things in the world can’t be seen or touched. They must be felt with the heart.” #HelenKeller
“I stopped believing in Santa when I was 6, mom took me to see him and he asked for my autograph!” #ShirleyTemple
“It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters, it’s who’s around it”

“Don’t give up what you want most, for what you want now. Last year’s words belong to last year’s language, next year’s words await another voice” #TSElliott
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” #MarkTwain

“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all of the time.” #AnnaFreud

“If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” #MichaelJordan

NO is ok with me, just don’t tell me NO slow!
My Business coach, Michael Tannery of Tannery Wealth Advisors, said this to me recently and I couldn’t let it go! How often have you been involved in a project, job, or relationship that wasted more time than you really had all because someone didn’t tell you no up front. Think about it!
